Exit 8 Review & Gallery

Exit 8 is the new kid on the block in the South Carolina Fighting Game Tournament community. This is one that I have been anticipating and supporting since before Brawl III. This tournament, held in Hilton Head, was about a 4 hour drive from Myrtle Beach. As these guys showed their support for Brawl III, it was necessary for me to take a trip to show my support.

The tournament was held in a conference room at the Hilton Garden Inn near Hilton Head. I must say that this is one of the nicest hotels I’ve been in thus far this year. Very fancy, huge lobby and outdoor patio, free hot beverages, friendly staff, outdoor pool and all the necessary things to make a good hotel. Even though, to my knowledge, there were no vending machines, there were concession stands. If you were really hungry though, there were more than 4 chain restaurants and a gas station in walking distance.

After being greeted at the entrance of the conference room of Exit 8 by three lovely ladies, who were taking care of all the fees, sign-ups and giving out the wristbands, I was very impressed by the setup before me. The Exit 8 staff really made use of the equipment that they had. There were setups all around the walls, two areas for streaming by Jaguar (David Barnes) and Samurai Perry (Julies J. Perry III), and a theater setup in front of a 52’ flatscreen TV. Let’s not forget Exit 8 had a table full of prizes to be raffled off.

Aside from the venue, the Exit 8 Staff were on top of everything, making sure the setups were good, monitors were not lagging on tournament setups, brackets were correct and making sure everything was running as smooth as Gary Coleman’s face. The X360 stream was taken care of by Exit 8 Staff while Jaguar took care of the streaming for PS3. We also got a chance to play some Persona 4 on stream.

Overall, Exit 8 had a great start to becoming the next recognized tournament in SC. I can’t wait for the next event. Before we get into the gallery, I would like to give a big shout out to Charles Wilder, Avery Singleton, Michael Loftin, Julius Perry III, and the rest of the Exit 8 Staff Team. Special thanks to David Barnes for coming to stream and everybody who came and supported the event. I will now leave you with the results and pictures. It’s not as great as our Brawl photographer Brendan, but it defiantly capturing the experience of Exit 8.

NOTE: I have the high-rez pictures from the event so just email admin@theohos.com if you would like to obtain a picture or two.
